Having dinner at grandmas is always an adventure.
I present to you the "Drinking Water" Grandma says its fine.....would you drink it? 
A little back story for those that asked. Grandma drives 5 miles to a spring fed well to fill her water jugs. The well is nothing more than a pipe coming out the side of a mountain. People come from miles around to get the fresh spring water. Yes, spelling is genetic. Dad's side of the faimly can spell...mom's can't. You can also sit and ponder what side of the family drinks that water on a daily basis. ;) |

Probably the cleanest container you could possibly chose. I don't see a problem with it as long as it was rinsed out before filling. Ever swam in a pool? |

Granma IS older than you; maybe she knows something about longevity. (Watch her drink it first, though).

Yup, Clorox jugs are good water storage containers. What's wrong with the water from her tap, don't they have indoor plumbing?

During SHTF, I would give it a taste test and drink if it's not like pool water. Not SHTF? Hell no.

I always heard that for water disinfection or long term storage add a teaspoon of pure (not the scented stuff) bleach per 5gallons of water. If the jug was rinsed out, I don't see a problem here.

I guess you didn't grow up getting all you water from a cistern. We would refill it from the canal every two weeks and add 2 cups of bleach to sterilize it for use. It was tested once a year by the County Ag Extension Agent and certified for human consumption. The water still tasted better than the garbage out of the tap does today.

I would've tried it. Spring water is great.
Also, that jug has probably been rinsed so many times that there wouldn't be any residue. |

A lot of city slicker retards here that don't realize there is probably 1000X more chlorine bleach in their tap water than the residuals left in that container. |

at restaurants coffee/tea machines get bleached at the end of the night, then filled with ice (was told ice kills the bleach). Then rinsed in the morning.

Whats the difference between water out of that jug, and municipal water out of a tap? I would rather drink your grandma's water, which is from a spring, than the crap from a municipality, which is river water. If your city has 15 cities upstream using water off the same river, think about how many gallons of "treated" waste water has been dumped in the river, prior to your city treating it and sending it to your house? Thanks, but no thanks.

Does Grandma live outside of Albany? There was a story I read in the paper about a spring that was like you describe (a pipe coming out of a hillside)

I've started storing water in old milk and juice gallon jugs using bleach.
Link Purifying by adding liquid chlorine bleach
If boiling is not possible, treat water by adding liquid household bleach, such as Clorox or Purex. Household bleach is typically between 5 percent and 6 percent chlorine. Avoid using bleaches that contain perfumes, dyes and other additives. Be sure to read the label. Place the water (filtered, if necessary) in a clean container. Add the amount of bleach according to the table below. Mix thoroughly and allow to stand for at least 30 minutes before using (60 minutes if the water is cloudy or very cold). |
